[OOC: Dated AFTER the end of the Belldandy plot.]
To anyone who lost something important to them:
Your things aren't gone. You can find them inside the bank vault. It was necessary to make it look like they'd been destroyed, but they're not.
...
Yeah.
[Screened to Persephone]Sorry for keeping you in the dark about everything. I can come back

That's all that matters.
I'm not the same person you met almost two years ago, Atem. Back then I would've scoffed at the idea of a council, not participated in it. And back then I would've been far more upset by people being angry with me... than I would've been relieved, like I am now. Because it worked, and you're all safe, and that's more important. So you can be pissed off but safe, and I'm okay with that.

I wasn't sure I could pull it off, honestly. Not the stealing, that's easy. But making people believe I'd actually destroyed these things. I thought, someone's going to come asking. Maybe they'll think I wasn't in my right mind or... maybe think I'd did it under blackmail, anything.
But no one did. Fayt kept trusting me, and Selphie mostly, but for everyone else it was just easiest to assume it was all real. Even you, we were good friends and all I had to do was leave a little piece of scrap gold in place of that ring and you didn't even hesitate--
...
Well. People will be happy to get their things back.

If she had, well... then I'd probably be dead right now. Which might've saved me some bruising and being a punching bag, honestly.

You're very lucky. If she'd worked out what you were doing ... that bruising you got would've been nothing compared to the hurt you'd have gotten at her hands.
Just ... next time you want to try and pull something like that, be careful, please? You're still my friend.

I wanted to help; you don't know what it's like working with the others, Atem. They're such good people and they can offer so much to help others. I just wanted to be able to be worthwhile too... all I had was to exploit that people don't trust me very deeply. The consequences of that are more than fair.

Look, I'm ... I'm just glad you're okay, that's all.
